As a former Episcopalian let me say that the ECUSA is dead to me. They are an apostate church and function as a smug leftwing self-congratulation club rather than the house of God.

And the people said AMEN!

They are now just Unitarians with fancy vestments, so I don't care very much what they do. Poor saps.

We've got enough to worry about in our new church home . . . !

I believe the ECUSA is too far gone. The relative conservative Anglicans are in the ACNA
